RE: How Secure is Windows, Really?

["Richter,Steve" <Steve.Richter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vern,

IBM is getting its clock cleaned - where is the fight in the people who run 
that company? Intel and AMD are releasing new chip models every quarter. The 
PowerPC is still on a one and two year cycle. 2007 is going to be a true test 
for IBM. Dell is undercutting IBM on server pricing just like it did on desktop 
PCs. Intel and AMD are going the many core route while IBM is commited to 
turning up the clock on the PowerPC 6 - we will see by the end of 2007 which 
chip is faster. 

Software wise, IBM continues to refuse to allow the i5 to run at full speed. 
Without multicore hardware, you cant compete in the software business nowadays.

anyway, happy new year!

-Steve

The problem, Pat, is that Steve IS serious - either that or an IBM 
shill aimed at making us all rabid in our community support for iSeries.

Steve does say some good things - but they are almost completely 
mitigated against by this kind of unsupported allegation that he so 
often throws at this list.

Sorry, Steve, this kind of statement makes it almost impossible to 
listen to anything you say. That makes me sad. Truly.

Regards
Vern
